The type of Death Magic commonly seen around Zandalar…

Kyrian Death Magic

The exact name of this Death Magic is unknown yet it is used by the Kyrians and their Vespers(a type of gong or bell) to remove Memories.

No known Kyrian Death Magic Elementals have been seen as of yet.

Ardenweald Death Magic

Used by the Denizens of Ardenweald to fuel rebirth.

No Ardenweald Death Elementals have been seen as of yet.

Death

https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/npc=166584/swirling-death#modelviewer

The purest form of Death in my opinion. This due to the Death the Green Horseman of the Apocalypse is what people think of when they hear the term Death Energies.

A shame we don’t see Elementals of the Orange Blight persuasion or Purple Death Elementals of the Death Magic Type Sylvanas uses or even Kyrian or Ardenweald Death Elementals… Here’s hoping all 4 appear!
